Since Apple has united their display line up to 100 dpi. I wonder what's the DPI of PowerBooks get? If I hooked it up with the Apple display, would I have different size of graphic like say I have a window cross over two screen.

Thank you!

Very infomative!!

Thank you so much.

Now that means excepts the 12- and 14-inch screen, all screes are having very close DPI which means I won't see much different when using a 15 inch Powerbook with the 20 inch Apple display?

So happy.
